I left my home still as a child

  I walked a thousand soary miles

  To wait for my father, to gather up his truth

  He said my boy you've got to run

  Don’t wait for me, don’t wait for mum

  We’ll come get you, when it’s safe for us to move

  So I waited many years,

  held back the pain behind my tears

  For my father, to come find me like he said

  And in that time I was alone,

  so many years without my home

  I made brothers of a different kind instead

Instrumental break

  And in the time I didn't know,

  just how hard the wind could blow

  Towards disaster, and the things that I would see

  I never found my father,

  I never found my mother

  Even would I know in my lifetime I will be

  A hero into the masses,

  to those born without chances

  There’s a freedom that everyone deserves

  I know there’s greed and there’s corruption

  I’ve seen death and mass destruction

  But I’m telling you, and I hope that I'm heard

  And I will not be commanded,

  And I will not be controlled

  And I will not let my future go on,

  without the help of my soul

  And I will not be commanded,

  And I will not be controlled

  And I will not let my future go on,

  without the help of my soul

  And I will not be commanded,

  And I will not be controlled

  And I will not let my future go on,

  without the help of my soul

  I will not be commanded,

  I will not be controlled

  And I will not let my future go on,

  without the help of my soul
